      What sort of donation are we talking about here Kev ?
      Surely a few Fat Jockeys will be happy to top it up ?

        Didn't even realise there was such a thing as donating to the site, always wondered why some people were patrons and what it meant. Just signed up now, well worth a monthly fee to keep this place up and running, and excess money going to a charity is the cherry on top.

            I honestly don't know yet... I'll see how much is in the account and make sure we are set up for at least another couple of years, a rainy day fund for whenever something breaks and we have to pay the chap to fix it .... and go from there I suppose!


            Could do with getting one of those massive comedy cheques!

                        Ok nice and straight forward, 100 votes....

                        31% winner is: Greatwood Charity - https://greatwoodcharity.org/​​

                        A fantastic choice IMO.




                        I'll be sorting the donation over the Easter Half-Term, so watch this space.



                        If anyone else wants to donate, easiest way is: https://pay.anna.money/p/fjforumslimited

                        Feel free to message me if you have, or want to, so I can check the amount to donate otherwise I won't know whats a donation to the forum running costs and whats for charity...

                        Think that makes sense
